For those who missed it, here is the serious report dealing with evidence and facts about how we get out of the hole we are in.
Spoiler alert - it doesn’t build walls, seek to demonize migrants or rip up diplomatic relations. It of course does the exact opposite.

As Labour proposes limiting the protection of the ECHR, we must remember what it was set up to do; protect us all from abuses of power by our govts.
Be v wary then of anyone calling to do that. You may not be the target now. But why shouldn’t you be next?

There is no evidence that stripping refugees' rights one by one will have any impact on people crossing the channel.
Taking jewellery from refugees is akin to painting over murals for refugee children.
These repugnant ‘deterrents’ did not work for the Tories, and they won't work for us.

An open letter to the Chancellor: abandon this dangerous and damaging proposal.
53 academics of accounting and finance from UK universities explain why Rachel reeves should abandon the idea of new private finance for the NHS.
When it comes to designing cities for biking and walking, Ghent Belgium may still not be as well known as Copenhagen, Amsterdam or Paris yet, but it’s one of the most inspiring cities in the world. I was honoured to do some work with them in 2019. Watch @streetfilms.bsky.social’s fantastic video:

Labour MP Brian Leishman: "The Government has surrendered to... the vile rhetoric of Reform. Does the Home Secretary not see that removing the legal obligation to support asylum seekers who will be otherwise destitute, is as far away from Labour Party principles and values as we can get?"

Carla Denyer challenges the Home Secretary's new immigration reforms saying they just fuel far-right narratives.

“While the AI industry claims its models can “think,” “reason,” and “learn,” their supposed achievements rest on marketing hype and stolen intellectual labor. In reality, AI erodes academic freedom, weakens critical reading, and subordinates the pursuit of knowledge to corporate interests.”

Every year, $100s billions that should be funding schools, hospitals & social care is disappearing into tax havens to fuel crime, conflict & new private jets.
The UK facilitates 26% of this global tax abuse, and has the power to expose it.
Demand they act.

Rescue operations in Wales, submerged railway lines in Cornwall – these events are ever more common. So why have we utterly failed to prepare?

As a beekeeper, I've been thinking a lot about the terrifying collective power of honeybees. When you are in the colony and you piss off 40k or 100k divas who will move AS ONE against you...one cannot help but think of how we could look to the bee for wisdom on collective resistance.

Roots and Culture: voices from the sound systems of Chapeltown
Home for three-quarters of a century to a thriving African-Caribbean musical, cultural and arts scene, Leeds celebrates its reggae pioneers

"Mainstream economists nowadays might not be particularly good at predicting financial crashes, facilitating general prosperity, or coming up with models for preventing climate change, but when it comes to establishing themselves in positions of intellectual authority, unaffected by their failings, their success is unparalleled. One would have to look at the history of religions to find anything like it.
Neo-Liberalism, Trickle-down economics, Thatcherism or whatever you call it really has more in common with fundamentalist religion than anything else.

Screen cap of Jen’s tweet from March 2024 that says “we’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, but everyone is only abled until they’re not. So you should respect disabled people because empathy, but also because you will eventually become disabled too”.
Saying it again.
